Demands for systemized management of workers' safety systemically in construction sites have been increased. Industrial accidents at work places are often happened by risk factors of construction sites, and also it brings a lot of loss as the correct direction for workers about locations to work is not delivered properly. In this paper, a safety supervision system for construction sites is designed and implemented to figure out the location of workers accurately and to provide the information about the status of works and workers in real-time by personal device which is based on RFID. The system designed in this paper achieved high performance in its function and efficiency through a performance test, compared with existing analogous systems.

최근 국제적인 여건과 사회적인 상황이 급변하여 대량생산-대량소비지향으로 인한 폐기물의 대량방출사회에서 지구환경보전을 중시하는 사회로 전환되어 가고 있다. 지구환경의 보전을 위하여 다양한 분야에서 각종 논의가 진행되고 있는 가운데 건축분야에서도 지구기후변화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있는 이산화탄소배출의 억제와 폐기물 삭감 등에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 최근 관심이 집중되고 있는 건축물의 장수명화와 리모델링도 이러한 움직임과 궤틀를 같이 하는 것이다. 물론 리모델링은 신축시장의 급감에 따른 대체시장으로서 검토되고 있는 측면이 더 크게 작용하고 있는 것도 사실이지만, 그동안 신축에 대한 집중적인 투자에 중점이 두어져 재고건축물에서 간과해 왔던 유지관리와 리모델링에 대한 중요성 인식이 결부되어 있다고 보여진다. 사실 지금까지 리모델링이 전혀 이루어지지 않았던 것이 아니라 일반건축물 부문에서는 상당부분 이루어져 왔으며, 공동주택 부문에서도 극소수 이루어져 왔다. 리모델링에 대한 정의와 개념을 어떻게 보느냐에 따라 많은 차이가 있을 수 있지만, 리모델링은 건축물 또는 외부공간의 성능 및 기능의 노후화나 진부화에 대응하여 보수, 수선, 개수, 부분증축 및 개축, 제거, 새로운 기능추가 및 용도변경에 이르는 광범위한 행위를 포함한다. 리모델링을 통하여 건축물의 성능을 유지하거나 향상시켜 쾌적하고 건강한 건축물의 재고 를 구축함과 아울러 건강한 지역환경을 조성하여 국민생활의 질적인 향상을가져옴으로써 환경을보전하 고 자원낭비를 줄여 지속가능한 건축물과 사회를 만들어 갈수있도록 하는 것이다. 건축물에서 리모델링을 하게 되는 동기는 시간이 흘러 물리적인 측면이나 기능적인 측면에서 노후화가 발생하거나 기능적인 요구가 변화함에 따라 건설당시의 성능이나 기능유지가 어렵거나 건설당시의 기능만으로는 요구조건을 만족함 수 없기 때문에 건설 당시의 수준을 유지하거나 새로운 요구에 적합하도록 향 상시키기 위해서는 물리적 또는 기능적인 개선이나 개량이 필요하기 때문이다. 물리적인 개선이나개량을위하여 중요한것은건축 물을 구성하는 자재나 부품의 수명문제이다. 수명의 길이차이가 건축물의 리모델링에 영향을 주고 있을 뿐만 아니라 서로 다른 수명의 자재나 부품의 접합상태가 리모델링 공사에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 리모델링 공사가 신축공사의 70-80% 정도의 공사비가 소요되기 때문에 리모델링 공사가 어렵다는 업체의 불만은 바로 이러한 점을 극명하게 드러내는 좋은 사례이다. 본 고는 이러한 측면에서 건축물의 장수명화를 근간으로 한 설비의 리모델링을 용이하게 하기 위한 건축 계획 및 구법에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 그리고 본 고는 기존건축물의 설비자체의 보수나 개수를 용이하게 하는 것에 초점이 맞추어진 것이 아니라 건축설계 및 시공시에 향후 설비부분을 용이하게 개.보수할 수 있도록 배려하는 측면을 중심으로 설명하였다.

Procurement System for Korean construction industry has mainly been controlled by the complicated regulatory system which has been recognized as unflexible and remotely separated from the global standard. This has been identified by many Korean construction experts as one of the main reasons that hamper the Korean construction industry becoming the global leader. One commonly discussed regulatory system is the compulsory multiple contracting system that has been enforced for a long time. According to the Korean governmental contracting law 68-3, all construction projects cannot be divided into separate contracting packages with a few exceptions. Exceptions stated in the law include construction activities related electrical, Information communication, fire-fighting, and cultural assets which all are governed by the separate laws/acts controlled by the different governmental bodies. This research is to closely investigate multiple prime contracting system that has been compulsory in Korean construction industry and to provide policy recommendations to these restrictions. Although, there has been a long history of this compulsory contracting system, this study attempted to provide objective analysis on current status of the system as well as global standard on the issue. This study suggests main considerations when considering different contracting system such as rights of owners, flexibilities of regulatory systems, and efficiencies of conducting a construction project. It is envisioned that recommendations from this study, if accepted by the regulatory bodies, would improve the Korean construction contraction system by making it more compatible with global standard. Moreover, these would help making the Korean industry more effective in terms of regulatory restrictions.

The purpose of this study is to derive basic data of the Guaranteed Maximum Price(GMP) process and to present specimens that can be used at the time of execution of CM at Risk project in South Korea. CM at Risk project is issued in South Korea, but the actual data is lack. On the other hand, CM at Risk project is universalized and the market of the CM at Risk is steadily growing. Because of that, in this study, The United States cases was selected as a sample. GMP consists of CM's fee, CM contingency, project direct cost, project indirect cost, allowance. GMP negotiations are performed before the end of design completion, and after 3 rounds of estimation comparison, preliminary GMP is confirmed. GMP can be multiple contract and it is useful for Procurement of long lead materials and early construction. If the actual cost is lower than expected GMP, sharing of the saving is an option since the conflict of interests between the client and the contractor can occur.

Safety accidents on the construction scene can cause serious accidents, that take worker's life, and as the government has been making great efforts to reduce industrial accidents, the role of safety managers closely related to accidents at construction sites is becoming important. However, job stress is high due to excessive workload and inefficient work managed by safety managers in the current construction safety management system. So, it is necessary to improve and simplify the work contents. The main purpose of this study is to identify and improve tasks that need improvement and simplification of inefficient tasks, obtained through expert opinions and surveys on the level of difficulty and prevention effect of tasks in the safety manager's working stage, by using 2×2 Matrix analysis techniques. Therefore, this study will ultimately contributes reducing the occurrence of safety accidents on the construction scene.

Since 2004, the government decided to gradually introduce Actual Cost Data into cost estimate for improving problems of below-cost tendering and to reflect fair market price through competition and carry contract efficiently. However, there are many concerns that Actual Cost Data has not reflected real market price, even that has contributed to reduce the government's budget. General construction firm's burden for labor cost is imputed to specialty contractors and eventually it becomes construction worker's burden. Therefore, realization of Actual Cost Data is very important factor to settle this system. To understand realization level and make short term forecast, this paper drew construction group of which labor cost constitutes more than 95% of direct cost, and compares their Actual Cost Data with relevant skilled workers's unit wage and predicts using time series analysis. The bid price which is not be reflected market price accelerates work environment changes and leads to directly affect such as late disbursement of wages, bankruptcy to workers. Therefore this paper is expected to be used to the preliminary data for solving the problem and establishing improvement of Actual Cost Data.

Enhancing clarity and transparency of the pricing guide for technical services for public construction works enables the prediction and reimbursement of the service cost for project owners and bidders, while it would also yield benefits for engineers who carry out the construction tasks. In order to improve the global competitiveness of construction service industry, the government revised its pricing guide for techical services for construction works recently, moving away from its previous percentage-of-construction-cost method towards the Cost Plus a Fee Method. However, since the Cost Plus a Fee Method results in the rise of the service price by 153%~197%, there is the need for a review on the method and basis of the adjustment in order to avoid controversies regarding the application of the revised method. In this context, this paper analysed the 2014 revision of the pricing guide for technical services for public construction works through comparison with foreign cases including those of the US and the UK. The analysis yielded the conclusion that, while the shift towards Cost Plus a Fee Method which is widely used in advanced economies is a very meaningful change in large measure, certain aspects still remain problematic. Unlike in advanced economies, the detailed break-down shows the direct labor cost includes certain indirect expenses. Also, indirec expenses are admitted so comprehensively as to include overhead costs and technology royalties. These problems results in redundant estimation of certain expenses, and obstructs transparency in spending details. This paper proposes various improvement measures to address these issues.

It has been passed $5\~6$ years since Construction Management introduced in Korea, but a few government projects have been presented as CM instances. We performed CM service, on behalf of the foreign Client, in the Insa-dong construction, I-Project. Even though there were many limits in cost, time and other aspects, we have attained satisfaction of the Client and successful businesses of all the construction parties as adopting the advanced management methods. Many advanced construction methods have been applied for the purpose of time reduce, cost save and quality assurance as well as to the webbased project management has been imported to overcome the limits of time and place. They have actualized to increase the productivity of the project by managing the floor to floor cycle and quality systemically pursuant to ISO 9002, and by adopting Real-name construction and completion system (or individual activity. While carrying out this project, it is possible to establish mutual reliability and understanding enable to resolve the issues occurring in the early stage due to insufficient understanding of CM, lack of communications and team work, indistinct work scope through continuos training and conferences. Additionally, we became to share business targets among the parties and promoted the project in confidence. We wish that the success of I- project to be rated as a standard model of CM in Korea.

Recently, resettlement problems of low income groups in the urban regeneration area have been issued in Korea because they have no capability to purchase (or lease) redeveloped housing (or apartment). There are several approaches for supplying affordable housing and one of these is the bidding system which can reduce construction cost. However, the lowest bidding system has many problems such as dumping and substandard quality. In this context, this study proposed bidding system based on technical proposal applying the concept of the lowest total combined bid price for optimization of bid price, reduction of construction cost and period, and maintenance of suitable quality. This bidding system embraces the best value and cost plus time concept on the basis of an improved lowest price bidding system. It consists of the following components: work unit based, project unit based, and period reducing technical proposals. The proposed bidding system for determining bidders are designed to evaluate the adequacy of each technical proposal in the order of the combined minimum price in an effort to effectively optimize bid prices and reduce the construction periods, as well as to maintain a minimum appropriate quality.
